Is Pebbled Tiger Jaws toxic to dogs?

Adromischus festivus

Mildly toxic to dogs

Mildly. The ASPCA lists pebbled tiger jaws as mildly toxic to dogs — a chewing dog typically gets mouth irritation, drooling, and vomiting rather than a medical emergency, but it is still best kept out of reach. This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. Adromischus festivus is not individually listed by the ASPCA. As a member of the Crassulaceae family, some relatives contain bufadienolide glycosides that are toxic to pets, particularly cats. Out of caution, treat as mildly toxic and keep away from pets and children.
